2020 Map of Vardaman

About this map

Vardaman and Loyd anchor this rural landscape in the northeastern corner of Calhoun County, where agricultural fields and timberland are deeply etched by a complex network of waterways. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Meridian Cr, Hurricane Cr, and Bull Cr, which carve through the terrain between the county line and the larger Mud Cr system. This 2020 survey reveals a community deeply connected to its land and history through numerous small burial grounds and places of worship, such as New Liberty Cem, Mount Herman Cem, and Poplar Springs Cem. The presence of Hollis Switch Rd hints at the region's former rail-and-road junctions. While Vardaman serves as the primary hub, the smaller settlement of Loyd maintains its identity centered around the Loyd Cem, illustrating the enduring nature of local family and community landmarks in this part of Mississippi.
